Steve Bannon was sentenced to 4 months and prison and $6,500 in fines by a DC judge on Friday.
The Guardian reported:
"Steve Bannon has been sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress. Donald Trump’s former chief strategist will serve four months on each of the two contempt counts for defying a congressional subpoena issued by the January 6 House panel investigating the former president’s efforts to reverse his defeat by Joe Biden. The sentences will be served concurrently, district court judge Carl Nichols ruled. The statutory minimum was one month in prison on each count."
He has been released pending appeal.
The Post Millenial reported:
"On Friday morning, former Trump advisor Steven Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison and a $6,500 fine on two counts of contempt of Congress by District Judge Carl Nichols. The sentence is to be delayed pending appeal.
Banon had not complied with the subpoenas due to executive privilege invoked by President Donald Trump regarding their communication. Trump later revoked that, clearing the way for Bannon to testify, yet the DOJ continued with their case."

We all have contempt for Congress.
Will they prosecute us all?
How many months did Eric Holder get?
Ooops!
I didn’t mean to post the tagline “The Antidote To Media Bias” in the title.
What goes around comes around......................
Jail time will make Bannon a hero.
I have contempt of the treasonous US Congress, everyday. Come get me, punks.
I hear what you were saying and you were right. But he is already a hero.
A Trump appointed judge.
The Demorats have re-claimed McCarthyism from the Republicans. Last people jailed for contempt were the Hollywoke 10 in 1948.
Actually, McCarthy was correct as proven to this very day. Nobody named in Hollywood as a Communist would denounce communism. They were dug in like a tick in the 1940’s and 80 years later we have the disease of marxism on full display.
I agree wholeheartedly. However, the media did the same thing now as they did then, by painting him as a drunken idiot conservative Republican, crazed by power grabbing. In other words, they are the same as they accused him so ‘righteously’. That is my point. They always accuse us of doing what they actually do. ‘Projection’ anyone?
